> why the hell would we openly accept something like Digital Yuan?
Define “accept”? If I, an American with an American phone, travel to China and can’t buy lunch because the American government mandated deplatforming of the payment app, that’s really annoying to me.
I agree that nobody in the US should be using the e-CNY in place of the USD, but a more targeted law could accomplish this without trying to police the applications I can install on my iPhone
I frankly doubt e-CNY even has a chance to take off here, in my local Chinatown everyone pays by credit card not by Alipay or Wepay.
